Mixed Media Grid: Inspired by Color Cube + Masha’s Palette

​

Unlock your creativity with this relaxing and inspiring watercolor tutorial where I create an abstract grid design using a limited palette from the Color Cube and Masha’s gorgeous handmade watercolors.

In this video, you’ll see how I choose colors, build a loose grid with watercolor squares, add intuitive mark making, and finish it all with a touch of metallic gold for that extra sparkle.

Whether you're into mixed media, watercolor journaling, or simply exploring creative play, this simple process is perfect for artists of all levels. Grab your paints and join me for some peaceful, joy-filled creating!

Looking for the supplies I used? I’ve listed all my favorite and most-used materials on one easy-to-update page here: https://2lilowls.com/favorite-supplies-for-mixed-media-abstract-art/

(Some of the links are affiliate links. If you use my link, I get a small commission, which will go toward my art supplies and to support this channel! I appreciate your support!!)

Note: I don’t list individual supply links on every post any longer, simply because keeping up with that for each video or project took more time than I have. Instead, I’ve created one easy-to-browse page where I’ve listed all my favorite and most-used art supplies. It’s always up to date, and a great place to find what I’m working with most often.
